| India win the second ODI, but top order?
Team India is high on its second victory over England in as many matches. But the glaring question remains. Just because we won, should we forget that the top order is not firing. Sehwag for once looked as if he is going for a good score, when stupidity set in. Gambhir though is turning out to be a find. I mean when Sehwag bats his strike rate is rarely overtaken. But yesterday was not one of those days. And Kaif who put up a solid display against England in the practice match failed both times. I feel really bad because good players, when given a chance do not utilize it. Now a few days later people will ask questions if he should be in the team just because of his fielding. And what was Rahul Dravid thinking? He is getting run out too many times nowadays. Taking risky singles is an exciting part, but this one was way too risky. But well, who am I to say, these are all experienced players. They should sit by themselves, sans their huge egos, watch the replays and try not to repeat them. But I guess, who cares as long as we are winning? |
